Good days are rarely reflected on, usually just the bad. It's easier for us to have a good day and turn out the lights at night and say "that's it". Likewise, it's just as easy to have a bad day and sit in bed at the end of it and think "that sucked" or "why does this happen to me"? It's not a fault of anyone who agrees with this, I think it's just human nature. But today was a good day. And I am reflecting on it. I got up fairly refreshed. Had a nice lunch. Talked with my girl and her room mate on the phone as I sat in the sun with the window rolled down in my car. I drove home and enjoyed the CD I was listening to in the car. Sat outside and read Sociology. And grilled a steak, on the roof...end of day. Now that, by all means is the most routine of routine days. Nothing special happened, it isn't a day that I will probably remember specifically down the line. But it is what it is. And it was a good day. And I am changing the direction of my blog (back to it's original purpose), so that I can reflect on days like this. Because, reflecting on this day makes me appreciate it. It makes me appreciate my girl, it makes me appreciate steak, it makes me appreciate JACK BAUER. It was just a day though, unordinary to thousands of other days like it, or of other people's days. But maybe that is the point. Maybe days like today are what it's all about. If one can find beauty in an average day like today, then they seem more likely to find the beauty in all that surrounds them. And perhaps that's what god intended for. For days like this to be appreciated. That doesn't mean that tomorrow may not be horrible, or disastorous, just because I appreciate today, it just means that today was good. It is what it is
PS. The main reason I am reformatting my posts back to more personal experiences is because as my life begins to resume its normalcy in the coming weeks and months, I will have more to reflect/write on. Also by popular demand of faithful readers ;)
